S1R-BLUNTZWORTH Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 Ok- question here.. I have a t1500-1bd, and will be ordering my second t1500-1bd in a couple of weeks. are there any EFFICIENT subs that would match roughly 1500-1700watts rms each, so I can run each sub to its own t1500-1bd? I'm just guessing, but i would NOT want to go with the BTL's if i'm only doing 1500 watts rms per sub, right? i just want to have efficient subs so i can get the most SPL out of my little fosgate amps any suggestions for some subs that would work for this setup? i dont know shite lol.. thx all Quote Amps - 2x t1500-1bd Subs - 2x hdc315's(copper d2's) Deck - 1940's Amplitude Modulation radio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decaf Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 (edited) little fosgate. since when is 3000w little lol umm theres the obvious: dc level 4 fi bl w/options incriminator dp sundown nightshade aa havoc re mx old re xxx to name a few... for spl tho id go with the bold... depends on bugdet tho too...

But seriously- compared to most systems here on the forum, the t1500-1bd's are just little toys hehe BTW thanks for the suggestions. which of those woofers is most "budget minded" Edited September 10, 2008 by S1R-BLUNTZWORTH Quote Amps - 2x t1500-1bd Subs - 2x hdc315's(copper d2's) Deck - 1940's Amplitude Modulation radio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

banginAltima Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 I think you should stick to subs with a 1000 watt rms each. Keep in mind that for you to get the 1500 to 1700 watts from the amps you will need to run them nearly maxed out or maxed out. At that point you might be clipping all the time and death to your system will happen. Quote If you build it, db's will come...

S1R-BLUNTZWORTH Posted September 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 (edited) what kinda car... do u want 12s 15s 18s? the car is a 1996 volkswagon Jetta. I either want 15's or 18's. Would 18"'s move a whole lot more air that 15"'s?(wind tunnel effect would be cool) But I also dont want to hurt the wallet too bad.... but I heard FI's are inefficient(esp 18"'s), i heard its like the first 500w rms does absolutely nothing to them and is wasted due to the low speaker sensitivity. The mtx 8500's (12's) I have are rated at 92db sensitivity, which is pretty good, but they'll never eat 3000 or 2500watts rms lol @banginAltima : you are probably right. maybe I should run them @ 2ohm which would result in roughly 1000-1200 w rms. The 1 t1500-1bd I currently have is running @ 1 ohm, and gets very HOT!

The 1 t1500-1bd I currently have is running @ 1 ohm, and gets very HOT! You would still have to turn the gains way up to get the 1000- 1200 watts if you run them at 2 ohm. Run them at 1 ohm just turn the gains down. They probably wouldn't run hot with the gains set right a 1 ohm. Quote If you build it, db's will come...
